A GREAT COAL FIND.
A Four and One-Half ooL Vein Within Forty
Miles of wichita.

Some few weeks sincethe EAGLE contained
q notice of the discovery of coal near Beau

railway, forty miles east of Wichita, and also
the mention of second discovery. ar.

mick. of this city, from whom we gathered
some important particulars; II they should

ping in creek bank near by, and from
six inch cropping in another direction, Mr.
7, rkin started drill. At sixty five feet he
struck six inch vein of coal; at seventy-hVe
feet a ten inch vein, which was OVERLAND with
four feet Of slate; at depth Of ninety-one
feet. after passing through six
teen feet of slate be struck
four and one-half foot vein of coal
wbi,h has been Of on unced of q most excel

put the property into 100 shares, one-half OF

COSTLY FIRE In CHICAGO.
A FIERCE CONFEDERATION AT THE
UNION STOCK YARDS

Results I'm the Total Destruction OF the
Houses of the Chicago Packing and Pro-

$3.50, 0OO-Hundreds of Parkers Roasted
Several Firemen Injured
CHICAGO, June GA destructive fire, in
which over 81, $50, 900 worth of property went
up in smoke, occurred early Sunday morning
at the stock yards when two of the large
packing-h houses and storage buildings, be-
longing to the Chicago Packing and Pro-
vision company, were almost totally de-
stroyed, including contents The vast build
ings stand near the center of the yards, and
clustering about them are others full of infiam-
1ammable material, and valued at millions of
dollars. The gravity of the situation, should
the fire extend beyond the building in which it
was first discovered was appreciated fully by
the fire marshals, and successful efforts were
made to keep it within bounds As 1t was,
the flames had plenty of food, for nothing
but pork was killed and packed by the firm,
the main building and its annex being full Of
fresh meat, fats and lard, whose consump-
ton by the flames baffied the efforts of the
firemen for upward of four hours
The alarm was first sounded at the stock
yards fire department at 4;4S o'clock in the
morning, and moment later the box con-
Meeting the packing-house with the city de
partment was pulled. When the Town OF

Bail Refused to McGarlgle and Mcdonald
Another Trial Begun.
CHICAGO, June 27.-Judge Shepard Mon
day morning refused to admit McGarigle and
Mcdonald to bail. He held that, even if
he possessed discretionary power to grant the
request of the defendants attorneys, it would
be more in accordance with law to keep in
Jail men whose punishment had been fixed at
a term in the penitentiary. The principal
ground taken by the court was that the jury,
in fixing the punishment, had taken it out of
the category of misdemeanors.

New YORK, June 2s-The following let

To THE EDITOR: The following extract from
The Washington Post of this morning leads me
to give detail of the of which the editor and
correspondent evidently know nothing and there
may be Others possibly similarly ignorant:
"A correspondent of The Bangor Commercial
writes that when Ben Butler claims to have re.
tured all the property taken from the south I've
must have forgotten clarrch bell that was
sold to the Baptist chu- n OF Wayne, in this
state. The idea conveyed. II true, is emf
nently characteristic of Butler. He can't even
assist in the cause of religion except In manner
peculiarly his own
When New Orleans was captured In May. 1862,
in one of its squares was found large number of
church and plantation bells, which had been do
mated to the rebels in New Orleans to be cast into
cannon. The bell of Sc. Patrick's cathedral, in
New Orleans, had been taken from its hangings
to the bell deck preparatory to lowering q to the
ground to be used for the same purpose This
property and considerable others of like sort be-
ing thus dedicated by its owners to wariike pur-
poses against the United States, seemed to the
commanding general to be ''contraband of war, "
and, having been captured, belonged to the
United States. The general had many transports
returning to Boston which needed ballast. He
therefore ordered these bells and useless cannon
and other material of like sort to he put board
returning transports, consigned to the United
States quartermaster at Boston.
The bell Of St. Patricll's church escaped, only
because the clergyman claimed It hadn't been
delivered. He was given the benefit of the doubt,
it being "a manner peculiarly his own in the
commanding general to assist in the cause of
religion" in that way If he could So st. Patrck's
bell was rehanged. The other bells were sold at
auction in Boston, and there many of
them, quite a number OF churches and school
houses in New England call their members and
scholars together by the aid of bells dedicated,
which were captured from the enemies Of the
United States. Who viii advocate their return?
For him have offended" This transaction APP

treasury. Narratives of it were published at the
time, with concentrations by all newspaper men,
